Talk:Michael Goolaerts

Order of events
I'm 99% sure I've got this right, but wanted to raise it. The article did say he suffered a cardiac arrest THEN crashed, but all the sources I can see state it's the other way round (IE, crash, then cardiac arrest). If anyone has anything to say the cardiac arrest happened before the crash, please can you provide a WP:RS. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 07:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Could maybe hedge it? Cardiac arrest AND crashed. (Not atm, but if sources that disagree turn up). -- BobTheIP editing as 2.28.13.227 (talk) 17:08, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * As I understand it, it is assumed likely that the cardiac event caused the fall, mainly because no other cause for the fall is evident, and there is no reason to assume that a fall would cause a cardiac arrest. But this is assumption, and so should not appear in an encyclopaedia as fact.  Until and unless there is an authoritative medical announcement, we shouldn't try to say.  I've edited out what looked like an attempt at a sequential detailing of the events. Kevin McE (talk) 12:55, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * & Cycling Weekly reports today an autopsy confirms he had the heart attack before crashing. Maybe that source could be used to authoritatively update the article? -- BobTheIP editing as 2.28.13.227 (talk) 13:47, 12 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Looks like it's been done - thanks for everyone's work on this.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 06:57, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
